Sarri sacked by Juve. Hardly a surprise. Who knows where he will end up next. Pochettino in pole position to replace him surely?

Do you just post when Kevin Cummins tweets? Or do you just have the same opinion. 🤨

Could be there is no wolves fans on here, to get the rise from.

 

Kevin Cummings tweets? He probably been reading us on Bluemoon.

I am not after a rise out of Wilves fans, I was waiting to see if Neil would comment, considering how verciferous he was about teams obeying the rules.

My big passion is photography, he is one of the finest. Unfortunately as I follow him on twitter, I have to suffer his words on city. 😄

Can Wolves fans read and write? 

@Hugh Jass

I’ve never met one who can.

I mean, it’s possible there are some out there who can, but I doubt it.

Pirlo the new Juve gaffer? That's mad but you love to see it. A lot of neutrals will want him to succeed.

No such thing. Juve are the most hated team in Italy by a long long long way.

It's not really much different to Chelsea giving Lampard the job.

Pirlo was only given Juve U23s job nine days ago!

I figured that was the reason there were no Wolves fans here. Y'know, and the pointlessness of it.

Seems to be the way that all the big clubs have a moment of thinking they have their own Guardiola moment. Guessing nobody in summer 2008 expected that a year later, he'd have won everything.

Sarri is a weird one but Juventus seem like a team where winning the league just can't be enough given they're so far ahead of everyone else.

Oh I can imagine that. In the same way I presume German neutrals have no time for Bayern Munich, even if they're capable of brisk enough football to, say, put 4 past Chelsea.

West Ham putting 3 past ‘em a month ago, shows it’s not exactly difficult.

a team who accept the rules even when they break them? That'll be a team a few divisions of morality above Shitty.

So now you're saying it is ok to break the rules as long as you admit to it?

The rules are an absolute disgrace anyway and only there to benefit the few at the top.

PM me your address, I have a City scarf for you there, that you can wear while you support us on our quest for European glory.

Looks like Bayern are the hot faves. Might be worth a few quid on PSG.

Poor you, you have to read his twoddle, then come on here and suffer mine 🙈

Am I right in saying that the winner of City/Lyon will play one of Barcelona or Bayern? If so then that half of the draw is absolutely savage.

Other half of the draw is Atalanta, PSG, Leipzig and Atletico.

I'm going City v Atletico final.

[pink_triangle]

Will be interesting to see if PSG benefit from the break, or are rusty, Didn’t seem to do Lyon much harm.

I’d expect Atletico to be too smart for PSG. They’ll frustrate them, rough them up then ultimately beat them.

Looking forward to Bayern v Barca on Friday. Bayern are arguably the best team in Europe right now. But you can never fully rule out the little chap wearing #10 for Barca.

[Hugh Jass]

The one-off nature of these matches adds an extra dimension too. No second legs, no point playing cautiously to begin with...

I don't think city are stronger enough defensively to knock either out.

[jyoung]

Bayern against City would be a great game.
